Chef Johns Crab Rangoon

Name: Chef Johns Crab Rangoon
Cook time: 3 min
Yield: 60 wontons
Cuisine: United Kingdom
Ingredients: 8 ounces cream cheese; 8 ounces crab meat, drained well; ⅓ cup chopped green onions; 1 clove crushed garlic; 1 teaspoon soy sauce; ½ teaspoon fish sauce; ½ teaspoon Worcestershire sauce; ½ teaspoon salt, or to taste; ½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper; ¼ teaspoon sesame oil; 1 pinch cayenne pepper; 60 (3.5 inch square) wonton wrappers; Canola oil for frying; 1 cup ketchup; ¼ cup rice vinegar; 2 tablespoons brown sugar; 1 tablespoon sriracha hot sauce, or to taste

While not ‘authentic,’ these crispy crab and cream cheese wontons are one of the most addictive, delicious, and crowd-pleasing appetizers ever created. That is, if the filling has enough crab in it. I’m using a 1 to 1 ratio of crab to cream cheese.

INGRIDIENT

8 ounces cream cheese

8 ounces crab meat, drained well

⅓ cup chopped green onions

1 clove crushed garlic

1 teaspoon soy sauce

½ teaspoon fish sauce

½ teaspoon Worcestershire sauce

½ teaspoon salt, or to taste

½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

¼ teaspoon sesame oil

1 pinch cayenne pepper

60 (3.5 inch square) wonton wrappers

Canola oil for frying

1 cup ketchup

¼ cup rice vinegar

2 tablespoons brown sugar

1 tablespoon sriracha hot sauce, or to taste

DIRECTION

Step: 1

Mix cream cheese, crab meat, green onions, garlic, soy sauce, fish sauce, Worcestershire sauce, salt, pepper, sesame oil, and cayenne pepper together with a fork until ingredients are blended thoroughly. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate until chilled, 1 or 2 hours.

Step: 2

Keep wonton wrappers moist by covering with a damp paper towel. Place a small bowl of water nearby on the work surface. With a wet fingertip, moisten surface of wonton. Place 1 1/2 teaspoons of crab filling in center of wonton. Fold 2 opposite corners toward each other over the filling but without touching tips together yet. Fold up the other 2 corners. Working gently from the bottom, squeeze out any air bubbles; pinch together the 4 seams from the bottom up to create a modified pyramid (or “warhead”) shape. Place on a dry surface. Continue with remaining wontons.

Step: 3

Heat oil in deep fryer to 350 degrees F. Fry wontons in batches until golden brown and crispy, gently moving them around in the oil with a strainer to brown each surface, about 3 minutes. Let cool about a minute before eating. Serve with the dipping sauce.

Step: 4

Whisk ketchup, rice vinegar, brown sugar, and sriracha sauce together in a bowl for the dipping sauce.
